Nice connections. But just to clarify, dvd screeners are real dvds with (usually) dvd sound and they're the finished product (normally just the movie, no menu or extras), they just have a time code or serial number (which is normally blurred out so it's not annoying) and those "If you were sold this disc report it to fox at 1-800-RAT-OUT" that show up every 10 min or whatever in the video. You sounded like you're talking about telesyncs which are the cameras set up in the theater with lame audio plugged into the machine and dingy video. This is different from cams because you don't get the sound from the audience and shaky camera. Workprints are unfinished versions of the movie with missing/extra scenes or music, etc. I don't know what the workprint is like for 300.
DVD screener copies of 300 have only been released in the last couple days. Telesync copies came out a week or two ago, maybe that's what you're referring to.

znine you know your movie hacking haha and yes we've got a different meaning of the screeners, I was referring to the types where people sit in the theaters with a video camera and have horrible video and sound.
As for the Workprint, I do have that also but I refused to watch it, the workprint was pretty much a finished copy according to those who watched it but it has the logo and the timestamp still watermarked into it so that was why I refused to watch it.
As for the connections yes they are quiet good and it took me awhile to become contacts with them, lots of talking and even more talking and sharing information, but nonetheless when there is a good movie that gets released, I ask them if they have it, if they do they always refer to the DVD Rip, the original finished copy you'll be buying in stores.
The only reason why I download some of the really good movies is because I live in a small ass town, the dvds usually hit here a good month when they are already out in other stores across the world and as for them appearing in theaters well shit that takes even longer haha.
I would open up my own theater in this town because of that reason but the only theater in this town apparently is in bed with our town council, some sort of legal crap they signed into many years ago saying they are the only ones allowed to own a theater in this town, not sure when the contract runs out but it sucks.
Its just like a casino, lots of people want to build on in this town but out faggot ass town council won't let anyone even get close, hell they don't even allow slot machines anywhere in this place.
This combined with an extreme lack of work is why I'm moving away to the big city where I should have stayed when I moved there a few years ago I don't know why I moved back to this shit hole haha.
